KB885250 inviisble files bug and Folder Rename

I discovered something very interesting about the Feb 8th kb885250 security
patch bug (where it arbitrarily makes files on certain shared folders
invisible). If the problem folder is renamed, the files appear and
disappear depending on the length of the rename; however, it is hard to
discern a pattern:

Example: These are all folders under the share \\main\c\archive\
Files become INVISIBLE:
asante.firmware\firmware.v_2.5
asante.firmware\firmware.v_2.9
asante.firmware\firmware.v_3.5
asante.firmware\firmware.v_a.b
asante.firmware\firmware.vca.b
asante.firmware\firmware._
asante.firmware\12345678901234
asksam
asksam___ [3 underscore]
asksam____ [4 underscores]
utils
utils2
utilsa
utils____ [4 underscores]


Files become VISIBLE:
asante.firmware\firmware.v_
asante.firmware\firmware.2.5
asante.firmware\firmware.v_2.50
asante.firmware\firmware.v_2.5.t
asante.firmware\firmware.v_2.5.test
asante.firmware\123456789012345
